A uniform density stick of length L oscillates as a physical pendulum. It is pivoted a distance x from the center of mass. as shown in the diagram Part a) find an expression for the value of x that gives the largest angular frequency( the shortest period) Part b) calculate the numerical value for the largest angular frequency of L=1.85m. Answer in m

A 1.30x103-kg car is constructed on a frame supported by four springs. Each spring has a spring constant 2x104N/m. If two people riding in the car have a combined mass of 1.60x102kg, find the frequency of vibration of the car when it is driven over a pothole in the road. Find also the period and the angular frequency. Assume the weight is evenly distributed.

An object is moving in damped SHM, and the damping constant can be varied. If the angular frequency of the motion is v when the damping constant is zero, what is the angular frequency, expressed in terms of v, when the damping constant is one-half the critical damping value?

A rifle bullet with mass 8.00 g and initial horizontal velocity 280 m/s strikes and embeds itself in a block with mass 0.992 kg that rests on a frictionless surface and is attached to one end of an ideal spring. The other end of the spring is attached to the wall. The impact compresses the spring a maximum distance of 15.0 cm. After the impact, the block moves in SHM. Calculate the period of this motion.

QUESTION 12 A 0.25-kg harmonic oscillator has a total mechanical energy of 4.1 J. If the oscillation amplitude is 20.0 cm, what is the oscillation frequency, in hertz?

You are pushing your nephew on a playground swing. The swing seat is suspended from a horizontal bar by two light chains. Assume that the estimation of the length of each chain is 2.0 m. Treat the motion of the child as that of a simple pendulum and assume that for safety the amplitude of the motion is kept small. You give your nephew a light push each time he reaches his closest distance from you. How much time elapses between your pushes? Express your answer with appropriate units.

At a certain harbor, the tides cause the ocean surface to rise and fall a distance d (from highest level to lowest level) in simple harmonic motion, with a period of 12.7 h. How long does it take for the water to fall a distance 0.25Od from its highest level? Number i Unit
